Decision Day

[somber music playing]
[owl hooting]
[John B] Okay, so, obviously,
it's a map of sorts, right?
[JJ] Yeah, but looks like a trippy mosaic.
[Kiara] It's so weird. It's all scrambled.
What are we supposed to do with this?
Decode it.
That's what we're supposed to do.
But how?
With the code breaker? That's how.
All right,
everything's coming into focus now.
You've just got to let your eyes go
out of focus for it to be in focus.
- [John B] I think we're mind melding.
- [JJ] We got a mountain range.
- What are you doing?
- Oh. Oh.
- Shit. Sorry.
- [John B] Waterline, right?
- [JJ] Good job. The blue's water.
- Shh.
- The jungle
- [clattering]
- [suspenseful music playing]
- What was that?
[fence rattling]
[dog barking]
I knew we shouldn't have come back here.
[JJ grunts]
[exhales]
[wood creaking]
[dogs barking]
[door creaking]
[suspenseful music continues]
[owl hooting]
Nothing on your side?
No. Nothing.
That's so weird.
It kinda sounded like maybe it was
- [crashes]
- [all gasping]
- Oh. Sorry. I'm sorry.
- [Sarah panting]
[Kiara] Jesus.
[panting]
JJ.
You made it.
[panting]
- I, uh, I'm sorry to bother you here.
- [Sarah] Oh my god.
[Groff] I swam I swam all the way in.
[coughing]
What are you doing here?
[tense music playing]
I I had nowhere else to go, son.
- [tense music builds]
- [Kiara inhales, exhales]
Oh. [coughing]
[Lightner] Get the hell up here. Take him.
- Take him.
- [menacing music playing]
We were all pulled out of lock-up,
you know.
Tirana, Caligari, Tangier.
[chain rattling]
[woman] So we all know the deal.
You sign up, you get your freedom.
You use it well, you're a rich man.
You use it badly, you're a goner.
Samir here was charged
with looking after the scroll.
Well, now it's gone.
But where's it gone?
It's just gone, has it?
We know who the thieves are.
We know where they live.
[speaking Swahili]
I can get it.
- I can get it.
- It's too late to fix it now, Samir.
It's too late.
[menacing music builds]
Go on.
[Samir grunting]
- [Samir] No!
- [man grunting]
[Samir] Please. Please.
I can get it. I can get it.
[screams] I can get it!
[yelps]
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds]
[exhales]
[woman] We've got to be up and ready
by daylight. Come on.
We still need the scroll.
I'm aware of that.
I know what to do. It's simple.
And I'll get it.
[tense music subsides]
[insects chirping]
So you're JJ's real dad?
[Groff sighs]
I don't deserve the title,
but yes, I am JJ's biological father.
I could have done better by him,
I know that.
I look forward
to telling you all about it.
- Right.
- [Groff] But I'm afraid time is short.
We are all in danger here.
[suspenseful music playing]
Let me guess.
You opened up that packing tube over there
and you found a scroll inside,
but you can't read it.
That scroll is encrypted.
How do you know that?
Because if you took that
from the Corsairs,
I suspect that you are in possession
of the Mogador scroll,
created by Barbary pirates in 1703.
The Lupine Corsairs
are dangerous mercenaries.
Now you've stolen from them.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
Okay, so what
what the hell is this Mogador?
It's a map.
To where?
[Groff] Well, if I knew the answer
to that, I'd be a very rich man,
but I can tell you who made it.
Murad the Younger.
- Murad?
- Oh, you know him?
Barbary pirate, slaver.
In 1703, a Berber shepherd gave Murad
a gold coin as tribute.
He asked the shepherd
where he'd gotten the coin,
and after some persuasion,
the Berber told him about a hidden vault
in the desert filled with gold.
And one other very special item.
The Blue Crown.
[suspenseful music builds]
So you know what it is?
Uh, it's a
- [Sarah clears throat]
- My dad was a historian.
Um, it was just, like, a bedtime story.
- [Groff] Mmm.
- [John B] Yeah.
[Kiara] What is it, though?
The crown thing.
[Groff] A mythical artifact,
and if you trust the legends,
a dangerous weapon
capable of granting wishes
and rendering enemies defenseless.
And you believe that?
No, of course not, but it's invaluable.
I'm looking for it just like you,
and if I could help find it,
I'd just want to get my cut.
Nothing more.
[JJ] If they found it 300 years ago,
there's no way
that magic cap is still there.
[Groff] Maybe, maybe not.
See, Murad was encamped in Essaouira,
in what's now Morocco.
But before he had a chance
to follow the map,
it was stolen by an enterprising
young woman named Elizabeth Howell,
who later became Blackbeard's future wife.
Elizabeth Teach.
Very good.
Blackbeard helped her elude her captors,
and the two of them escaped
to the Carolinas with the map.
The rest of their lives they wondered,
was there really a vault in the desert
that held the crown?
- On the day he died
- He left Elizabeth the map.
And now you have it.
But you can't read it, right?
You need a lens, a special lens,
a piece of refracted crystal
encased with a chain.
Elizabeth Teach had that lens
when she was killed at Blackstone.
[suspenseful music playing]
So let me guess,
you, uh, you have that lens.
Not in my possession, no.
But I know where it is.
Where?
Your mother's grave.
[suspenseful music builds, subsides]
[bells tolling]
[Heyward] Hey, Pope!
[exhales] Pope, you in there?
- [knocking on door]
- [Heyward] Pope.
- Cleo, wake up. It's my dad.
- [Cleo] What?
- Wake up. Wake up.
- Shit. Shit.
- Wait.
- Go, go, go.
- Okay.
- Get under the bed.
- You're not supposed to be here.
- [Cleo] Shit. Shit.
[Heyward] Coming in.
[whimsical music playing]
Hey, uh, didn't mean to wake you up, son.
It's all right, Pop.
What's going on?
I've been I've been thinking. [hesitates]
We should we should go ahead
and get you enlisted
first thing in the morning, hmm?
- Wait, in in the morning?
- Yeah.
It'll look good to the judge.
I thought we had
at least a week before we were
[Heyward] I know
this is not what you planned.
But I was thinking that it didn't hurt me
or your Uncle Roger any,
and it'll make it easier to keep you away
from those friends of yours.
Basic is three months.
No visitors.
[melancholy music playing]
- [Pope hesitates]
- It'll be a fresh start.
Okay, but what what about Cleo?
- What is she gonna do?
- Oh, son, you heard the judge.
You're all going to need a reset,
and Cleo's a tough cookie.
She will figure it out.
Son, we're gonna get through this.
We're gonna get through it.
[door closes]
[groans, exhales]
[owl hooting]
[door opens]
- Holy shit.
- Hey.
Holy shit.
Hey, come check this out.
So there is actual historical basis on
this Murad guy, the one who made the map.
Yeah.
I mean, he was actual, like,
an actual historical figure. [splutters]
We're closer than we think.
- Which is awesome, but
- JJ's gonna have to leave.
JJ's in a whole bunch of shit, so, like,
this map actually leads to Morocco.
If we go with JJ,
Morocco's not a bad option.
John B, I need to talk to you,
and I told you it can't wait.
So can we please
just talk?
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
[softly] Okay.
[sniffles] Come sit.
[tense music playing]
[John B] Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- [owl hooting]
- [insects chirping]
Hey.
Hey.
[inhales]
[whispering] Um
[exhales]
[inhales]
I'm pregnant.
[gentle music playing]
You're pregnant?
- You're pregnant?
- Mmm.
We're pregnant.
Yeah.
[exhales, splutters] Okay. Um
I'm really, really scared.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to do this.
I know you don't know how to do this.
And we're so young.
And I know the timing's probably terrible.
And I know you and JJ
wanna go after that crown.
[splutters] Hey, come here.
- Come come here.
- [sobbing]
Hey. Hey.
- I've got you.
- I was really scared to tell you.
It's okay.
- [sniffles]
- I love you.
We're gonna figure this out.
Because we always do.
Right?
[JJ] No, they're, like,
definitely not from here,
but the guy
the guy we saw down at the wreck,
he has something to do with them too.
- They didn't hurt you?
- [JJ] No. No, no.
I mean, they tried,
but they were mainly after Groff.
He pissed them off.
He did something to them.
- So they knew each other?
- Oh yeah.
- They definitely know each other.
- [Kiara] Mmm.
[JJ sighs]
And you really
You believe he's your dad?
[ambient music playing]
[insects chirping]
I mean, like the portrait of Larissa,
and, like, we do things si similarly.
I can't really explain it.
But yeah, I think he is.
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
[cell phone chimes, unlocks]
[tense music builds, fades]
[seagulls squawking]
[wood thudding]
Cleo?
Figured I'd get out
before everyone wakes up.
Wasn't gonna leave
without telling you goodbye.
Goodbye?
No, this isn't goodbye.
Who knows when the next time
we'll see each other.
[bed squeaking]
So where are you gonna go?
What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna go after the guy that
that killed Terrance? 'Cause if you are
What? You're gonna come with me?
Protect me?

He was a convict from Albania.
He got out on a Finch Deal.
- Finch Deal? What's that?
- [Carl] It's a foreign militia.
Anton Finch. He's an arms dealer.
He gives money to the state
to take the bad seeds out of jail,
and then he sends them to combat zones.
And then if the convicts survive,
they get their freedom.
They call themselves the Lupine Corsairs.
This guy was one of them.

Three more tires.
Scratch up this whole thing, man.
- [John B] Okay, time to go.
- [Kelce] What are you doing? Go get them!
- [man 1] Let's go!
- Shit!
[man 1] Hey! Get back here!
- [John B] Hurry up.
- [Kelce] Hurry up. They're getting away.
You're gonna pay for that tire!
[Sarah] Left! Left! Left!
- [John B] What? All right.
- This way. Go, go, go, go.
- [Kelce] Hey! Hey!
- [man 1] Here we go! In here!
[Sarah] Go. Here.
[John B] Come on. Come on. Shit!
[rock music playing]
[Sarah] Oh my God. [pants]
- [John B] We gotta get that door open.
- Hey, come on, back here!
Shit! Shit, it's locked!
- [man 2] Open up!
- [Kelce] Open the door, John B.
We got you tree'd, bro.
- Let's get it open. [grunts]
- Open up!
- [Sarah] Come on.
- Come on, get it open. Get it open.
[Sarah] We can't. It's locked.
[Cleo] What'd you do?
- I don't know. Um
- [Cleo] Shit! Shit!
It's not opening. What do we do?
- The door's broken and we can't get out.
- Just, um
- I'm trying.
- [Sarah] What?
- [man 1] Hey, guys.
- Open up!
- I'm gonna smoke 'em out.
- [man 2 laughs]
- Whoa.
- Go, go, go!
Do it. Light 'em up.
- Oh shit.
- [Kelce] Smoke 'em out.
They're not gonna like that.
[man 1] Burn, baby!
- [Ruthie] Come out!
- [Kelce] That's what I'm talking about.
- [Cleo] Shit.
- [John B] Out of the way. Watch out.
[man 1] Burn, baby, burn.
It must be getting hot in there.
- [John B groans]
- [Cleo] Come on!
- [Ruthie] Keep going!
- Hey. You all right?
What are you doing here?
I checked your location.
I heard screaming. Everything okay?
[John B] Yeah. Not really.
- [Sarah] Good idea.
- [Cleo] Pope, you shouldn't be here.
What'd you do?
First smart thing
I've done in a long time.
No goodbyes, right?
- [ankle monitor beeping]
- Never ever.
- Okay, come on, lovebirds. Let's go.
- [John B] We gotta go.
[all panting]
[tense music builds, fades]
[Groff] You can pull in there.
- [JJ] Wait, right here?
- [Groff] Yeah.
[car engine turns off]
I'm just gonna pick something up.
Hang tight.
Pick something up? What are we doing here?
- [bells tolling]
- [suspenseful music playing]
Uh Can I borrow your phone?
Mine's as dead as Julius Caesar.
[chuckles]
[JJ] Yeah.
Can we, like, please hurry up?
- Seeing as I'm sort of a fugitive.
- Yeah, just lay low.
Sit tight. I'll be right back.
We make a good team.
[tense music builds]
[seagulls squawking]
[knocking on door]
- Hollis?
- [door closes]
- Yeah.
- Hey, look at you.
[Hollis] Look at you.
It looks like you've had a day.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Is that it?
Is that the, uh, money from Rafe?
[Hollis clears throat]
- [Groff] Wait, you didn't get it?
- No, I got it.
Rafe paid, just like you said he would.
It's it's all there.
What?
Did something happen?
- You lied to me.
- [Groff] Did I?
When?
It's hard to admit to something
if I don't know what it is.
Mm-hmm.
They read the will today, Chandler.
Goat Island is being deeded
to the state as a nature preserve.
No, it's not.
There's a second will.
Stop it. Stop lying.
I'm I'm the sole heir of Goat Island.
[Hollis] You are not the heir, Chandler.
I saw the will.
Which means that this money is stolen,
and you made me an accomplice.
Such anger.
There's a second will.
Wes's final amendments.
I inherit everything.
Everything you say is a lie.
Okay.
I'm gonna tell Shoupe
where you were the night that Wes died,
'cause you weren't with me. I know that.
- You're not
- No, no.
Oh. Okay.
You are not who you say you are,
Chandler. You're a fraud.
[scoffs]
"Fraud"?
Really?
If anyone's a fraud here,
it's not me.
Can you please put that down?
Hollis, a gun?
It's so vulgar.
[tense music builds, subsides]
Okay.
Oh. Well, if you want
to tell the sheriff, there he is.
[Hollis groans]

[rock music continues]
Finally, all right. Come on, let's go.
What took you so long?
Sorry, son. I've got
one more teeny tiny request to make.
- What?
- [Groff] Leave the van. Come with me.
What do you mean? What? Leave the van?
I've got a boat here. Come on, let's go.
Get you off the streets.
No, no. I gotta get back right now.
With that little lens thing. All right?
I'll take you back.
Here's your lens. Come on.
This is the safest way. Take a boat.
Get you off the streets right now.
Let's go. We're losing time.
Drop me off with the lens. All right?
With the lens. It's a deal.
Slip 42.
- [JJ] Slip 42.
- Go.
- Get it started. I'll keep a lookout.
- [JJ] Forty-two. Okay.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds]
[JJ] Coming?
[Groff] Coast is clear. Go ahead.
That's the one.
[woman] All units, state order violation.
Suspect is an African American male, 19.
Yeah, I know him, the Heyward kid.
The one that punched me.
[woman] Looks to us like he's moving
from downtown Kildare
to those restaurants along the creek.
Got him.
[car engine starts]
- [car revving]
- [siren wailing]
- [ankle monitor beeping]
- [panting] Okay.
- Is that thing still working?
- You hear it beeping, don't you?
- [John B] Hey, hold on. This way.
- [Pope] Go.
[Sarah] Oh shit.
Wait. No, this way. This way. Come on.
- Wait, John B, the garage. Come this way.
- [John B] What?
[Cleo] This way!
[siren wailing]
- [ankle monitor beeping]
- [door closes]
Stop beeping. Stop beeping.
[tires screeching]
[siren stops wailing]
[suspenseful music playing]
- [car door closes]
- [ankle monitor beeping]
[Cleo] Stay still.
Maybe I can slide this off.
- Stop. That's not going to work.
- Shh!
- [Pope] Stop, ouch! Try to tear it off.
- Please be quiet.
- Guess we gotta cut off your foot.
- What?
All right, Pope, are you in there?
- [suspenseful music intensifies]
- [ankle monitor beeping]
All right. I'm coming in.
Get down on your knees.
Hands on your head.
[ankle monitor beeping]
[suspenseful music builds, subsides]
[ankle monitor beeping]
Shit.

[music fades]
[phone ringing in the background]
[tense music playing]
[Rafe] Can I talk to someone?
- Is Shoupe here?
- [woman] Sir.
You Come over here.
I need to make a report on Hollis Robinson
and Chandler Groff, right?
- They stole $400,000 from me, okay?
- Okay
[Rafe] This is
high-level fraud-type shit, okay?
An arrest needs to be made, all right?
Like now, all right?
- Groff told me
- What the hell is he yapping about?
Rafe says Chandler Groff swindled him
out of nearly half a million dollars
with Hollis Robinson's help. [chuckles]
Apparently, they told him that
he was gonna get to develop Goat Island,
and Rafe believed them
until they read Wes Genrette's will today.
Who's he saying stole the money?
Close that door.
[Carl] Hollis Robinson and Chandler Groff.
Wes Genrette's son-in-law.
- Groff?
- [Carl] Yeah.
[tense music builds]
So we have to assume it was the same guy.
I was out boating
with a a friend. [chuckles]
- [scoffs] Groff. Shit.
- Sheriff?
Hollis Robinson was Groff's alibi
for the night of Wes Genrette's murder.
Now, take Rafe's statements,
send Thorpe down to Blackstone.
Hell, send a few units. Groff's our guy.
And get Hollis Robinson in here now.
Yes, sir.
[door opens]
[Carl] Rafe, come on back.
[tense music fades]
[John B] Hey, Kie!
Kiara!
Kie!
Wasn't she supposed to be here?
- Kiara!
- And JJ?
- We'll check the surf shack.
- We'll check the house.
- [Cleo] Maybe she went with JJ.
- Kie!
- Kiara! Where are you?
- Hey! Kie!
- [Sarah] JJ!
- Kiara!
Yo, you up there, Kie?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kiara] Guys, is that you?
[John B] You hear that?
- [Kiara] Guys, I'm in here!
- [both] Kie.
[Kiara screams] Guys!
- Guys, I'm in here!
- [banging]
- [John B] Holy shit, that's Kie.
- [Sarah] In the cooler?
- [John B] Kie, we're getting you out.
- [Kiara] Help me!
- Oh my God. [yelping]
- [John B] Hey. Come on.
- God.
- [Sarah] How'd you get there?
Are you okay?
What's going on? What happened?
[panting] Groff happened.
He came here, and he took the scroll.
And Oh my God. [panting]
Wait, I dropped my phone.
I dropped my phone.
- I think he's still with JJ.
- [Sarah] What?
[Kiara] Where's my phone?
- [panting] Where is it? Where is it?
- [Sarah] Pope?
Cleo!
[John B and Sarah] We found her!
- [Sarah] Where's your phone?
- [Kiara] I dunno. Over here somewhere.
You okay?
- [Cleo] Where you been?
- [Pope] Hey, Kie.
- [Kiara] My God!
- [Sarah] Are you thinking?
[pants, sniffles]
[JJ over phone] Hey, this is JJ.
You know what to do at the beep.
He's not answering.
JJ, can you call me back? Please?
- [panting]
- Did you check Find My Friends?
Yes. I made him share his location
last time he freaking disappeared.
He's on the water.
- What?
- What?
He's leaving the island.
[suspenseful music builds]
[Cleo] Shit, man.
- [suspenseful music subsides]
- [boat engine revving]
[boat engine turns off]
We're here. This is it.
What? I thought you said we're going back.
What the hell are we doing out here?
- Come around back. I wanna talk to you.
- Okay, but first, can I see my phone?
I gotta let my friends know
when I'm coming back.
Yeah, sure thing.
Plus, I gotta let 'em know that,
uh, we found the little lens thing.
Can I see it?
Yeah, sure. Here, I got it.
Here you go. [laughs]
- Go long.
- [JJ] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[tense music playing]
[Groff] Sorry, my my bad.
[chuckles]
I'll get you a new one,
a better one, the upgrade.
In fact, I'm going to replace
everything you own. [laughs]
From now on,
everything you have is going to be better.
Come on.
[tense music intensifies]
[JJ] How long is this gonna take?
We gotta beat the tide
to get the boat back up the channel.
[Groff] Okay, but first, hear me out.
This this crown,
it's very valuable,
and there's a lot
of pretty important people
who will pay a lot of money for it.
I like the sound of that.
[Groff chuckles] I thought you might.
I thought I was gonna need the Corsairs
to get it, but I think you and I,
the two of us, could get it on our own.
First things first.
[tense music continues]
[exhales] Moment of truth.
[tense music builds]
Wait.
Wait, when did you get this?
Kiara.
So we could check it with the lens.
She gave it to me.
Oh!
It works!
- What?
- [Groff] I knew it.
Wait, really? It works?
- Come look at this.
- [JJ] Let me see it. Let me see it.
[tense music continues]
"Mogador."
[Groff] Yes, that's Essaouira.
[JJ] It really does work. Holy shit.
- I have the location of the crown.
- [JJ chuckles]
From from Murat himself.
[Groff laughs]
- It actually works.
- [liquid pouring]
[tense music continues]
So this is why you actually came back.
- I knew it.
- Listen to me, son.
You and me, together,
we are unstoppable.
- [chuckles] You know it.
- [Groff] But we gotta hop to it.
- I say we head east to Bermuda.
- [JJ] What?
And gas up.
- Wait. Like, right now?
- It's a long way to Morocco.
We gotta get going, son.
We gotta pick up my friends.
That's what we gotta do first.
I mean, the map, the lens, like,
they put in the work to get that too.
Wait, and we're just gonna take it?
We can't do that.
Of course we can. [chuckles]
Once we find the crown,
we'll give them what they deserve.
Don't you worry about that.
Yeah.
But we can't just take it.
I give you permission.
Just this once.
[chuckling]
[tense music continues]
No, I can't do that.
I'm not gonna steal from my friends.
And also,
I don't think Kiara gave you the scroll.
She wouldn't do that.
[scoffs]
So what did happen?
Now,
why would you let me tell you my plan
if you weren't gonna come with me?
You're just like your mother,
tricking me into confidences.
Just to box me in. And I won't have it.
[tense music builds]
You killed her, didn't you?
[gasps, scoffs]
[chuckling] What?
[JJ] Yeah.
Larissa, my mother.
You killed her.
Larissa drowned.
[tense music builds]
It was a terrible [sniffles]
terrible tragedy.

Hey!
I see him! There he is!
He's out there. Go!

[JJ] Hey!
- [Pope] Hold on!
- We're coming!
- [John B] Pull him in. Pull him in.
- [Pope] Hold on.
[Kiara] You've got him.
Sit him down. Put him down.
[JJ groaning]
Are you okay?
- Oh my God.
- [Kiara] Are you okay?
- [JJ coughs]
- What happened?
JJ.
- You're good.
- [JJ groaning]
It's okay, just breathe.
We're gonna get you back.
- What happened?
- [JJ groaning]
Groff.
[panting] Yeah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds, subsides]
[door opens]
[Groff grunts]
So, the prodigal son returns.
I promised you I'd come back,
and I brought the scroll.
Yeah, after we caught up with you.
Where else was I gonna go?
So, he kills one of our own in a dispute,
and yet here he is.
Bringing us back the scroll
like nothing ever happened.
Let's cut his throat.
- [Dalia] That is not a bad idea.
- [scoffs]
[menacing music playing]
Let's go get the crown.
[menacing music intensifies]
We will be watching you.
You know, if you mess this up,
if you lie to us,
I'll kill you myself.
And it'll be slow.
[exhales]
[menacing music builds, fades]
- [frog croaking]
- [JJ grunting]
[JJ] You know what's the funniest part?
Is that I actually thought
he was coming back for me.
But no, he just wanted
to get rid of me. [inhales]
[exhales] And now Pope's a fugitive.
Welcome to the club, bro.
And we have nothing now.
[inhales] We lost everything,
and it's all my fault.
[Kiara] It's not your fault.
[JJ] Yeah, it is.
